LAST EDITED ON 10-06-23 AT 01:07 AM (EST)We begin the evening at McEntyre where Sufi has a great hobby ; Puncing trees. He says his right hand doesn't hurt whem he does it.
Got news for you Sufi: That's not normal. I also bet you won't feel it when the knife goes into your back because, like your right hand, your brain seems unable to sense exterior stimuli.
While Sufy punches trees, Maya tries to decipher the idol clues on the tribe flag. She doesn,t seem to figure out she needs some help to decode it.
Meanwhile Texas has found the clue and figured out where to look.
Good first step. At least one cast member isn't a total waste of space.
At Belo, Bruce is happy. So happy he's upsetting Katurah.
Looks like we have a conflict at Belo. Katurah seems to be oversdoing the: I may be African American but I won't follow a dumba$$ just because he's also black. Seems like you're following no one Katurah which tells me who will lose that conflict.
In Lululooser, Emyloser is loosing her time looking for idol. She then gets frustrated when her tribe mates tag along to shadow her.
This episode's main theme will be about Emyloser going from certain next boot to accepted member of the alliance. Brandon's eventual dismissal killed the possibility of one of Jiffy's favorite comeback story but let's not forget that Emyloser was the first player we thought wasn't long for the show.
Blandon finds the Beware clue but in true coward he is scared of opening it so he gives it to Shabby. She figures out the clue and locates the tree. So Shabby is not so Shabby after all
Back at McEntyre we learn that Dee has a BIG big toe. Meanwhile Julie is ready to build a family Final four with Big Toe, the Nerd and Texas. The Nerd agrees and has a big interview to announce that he will be king of this alliance.
There have been many Kings and Queens on Survivor, at least the wannabe kind! but Drew has to be the weirdest, the nerdiest one yet.
At least, We see the dynamics of Reba which put Maya and Sifu on the outs.
A Boat arrives at each beach and Blandon, The Nerd and Uncle Bruce go for a ride. Emilyloser is upset that Uncle Bruce butt checked her off the boat.
The three men get together, bond and then find their challenge. Bruce wants nothing to do with it. Blandon says this puzzle is made for him. Of course, he fails. The Nerd is the only one to solve the combination and gets one of the DusAdvantage Advantage: Safety wihtout Power. At least he has the presence ofm mind to tell everyone about it and promise to give it to someone who will be in trouble.
I can't imagine an upside to using it for yourself. Walking out of TC saves you 1 round but certainly makes you Numero Uno on the next one.
Now comes the Challenge and I know one viewer who is so transfixed by excitment he may just wet his pants. Imagine, we have 9 clowns running the same kind of Mickey Mouse course we've seen dozens of times. and then 6 nerds who were considered too inept to swim, will attack the same kind of upright puzzle we've also seen too often to remember.
Anyway, you guessed it, LuLulooser well looses when their puzzle-guy par excellence guys, Blandon, can't solve the puzzle.
Red and Blue get fishing equipment. There used to be great stories built around this reward but I bet we'll barely see anyone using it.
Back in Lululooser, Shabby spots a coconut in e tree that isn't a coconut tgree. She figures that someoine planted it there.
Geez! That kind of reasoning probably places her in the upper tier of Survivor's IQ. I'll go and guess that she scored between 80 and 90 in the test.
Blandon thinks the tribe will vote Emilooser who knows she's in trouble. She gives her Shot in the dark to Shabby to prove her loyalty.
I thought players picked a shot in the dark during TC but it's clear that each contestant is given one at the start of the show. Easy for production to slip in their favorite's bags.
After all the yadda-yadda of TC, Blandon is voted out. He's supoer excited to have lived his dream.
I'M guessing that his dream turn to nightmare when the show started airing.
NTOS:
Dee feels that the Nerd is cheating on her for looking for an idol.
Shabby and Emilooser aim for Shish-Kabob
One camp will get raided. It'll probably be Lululooser but what loot do they have to steal? Emilooser's crabs?
Jake does a Skupin and head dives into the fire.
